Letters from the Dhamma Brothers book on sale now.

When
the first ten-day Vipassana meditation course came to a close at
Alabama's Donaldson Prison, 20 maximum security prisoners had the
possibility of a new chapter in their lives. Many have life sentences
and most have been deeply acculturated during years of incarceration to
the life of violence and abuse that is common in prisons.

In Letters from the Dhamma Brothers
we gain direct and intimate access to the thoughts, struggles, dreams
and triumphs of these inmates during the four years following their
participation in the rigorous meditation course, by reading their
letters and interviews with author Jenny Phillips.

The
200-plus page book includes photographs of the participants and the
prison gymnasium transformed into a meditation course site.

"The
stories of the Dhamma Brothers ring with the truth and power of their
experiences, and offer the hope for renewal and rehabilitation. . ." --
